What is Fetch API?
The Fetch API is a modern replacement for the XHR object in AJAX. It provides a cleaner and more powerful way to make HTTP requests and handle responses in JavaScript. Fetch is promise-based, which makes handling asynchronous requests more intuitive compared to the callback-heavy XHR.
Key Features of Fetch API:
- Simpler syntax compared to XHR.
- Supports Promises for better error handling and chaining.
- Allows customization of requests (headers, methods, body, etc.).
- Provides support for various data formats, such as JSON, text, blobs, and streams.
